I was warming up the truck one morning and smoke started filling up the cab real quick. I thought I was having an electrical fire. It turned out to be leaves in the bottom heating duct that the element was burning.
Sounds like the resistor for the blower motor. It's in the ducting to cool it. But it's not supposed to get that hot... I'd replace it before you have a real fire.
